Mmm...I don't think you can get the user profile picture for the user information list...the user profile picture is managed by user profiles service and should be there

Hi Juan,

 

I can get the image URL but the picture doesn't display, I guess I will need to locate it from elsewhere.

 

Regards,

 

Will

      I am another year late on this too.  Same issue.  I get broken links, but if I paste the URL in a browser it works.

        Same issue ... URLs are valid and exist but seems like PowerBI doesn't have security access to retrieve and display them blm001 😞
